Hoboken, Weehawken Get Mentioned In Apple TV's 'Weehawken Rap'

HOBOKEN, NJ — If the Jersey side of the Hudson River doesn't get enough respect, consider Weehawken: A quiet waterfront town with lots of history that often gets overlooked in favor of bustling Hoboken and Jersey City nearby. But now, Weehwaken gets some love from the Helen character in the new season of Apple TV+'s "Central Park."

On Wednesday, Apple TV released a video in which Helen sings about her beloved hometown on the Hudson. Watch the video here.

“It’s a fun cute rap song about our hometown," said Weehawken Mayor Richard Turner. "We intend on sharing it on our social media."

The song mentions the site of the Hamilton-Burr duel, shows the historic Weehawken water tower on Park Avenue, and of course, brags about the Manhattan view.

The series focuses on a family who live in a castle in New York's Central Park. An elderly heiress and assistant Helen want to buy up the land and turn it into condos.

Wait...this really isn't about the Jersey side?

The series is executive produced by Loren Bouchard, Josh Gad and Nora Smith. The second season premieres June 25.
